Installation instructions

First, delete any previous versions (folders or .zip/.vcvplugin files) of the plugin from the plugins folder within your Rack2 user folder. Then download the .vcvplugin file for your platform from the links below. Place the file in your Rack2/plugins folder, and restart Rack.

The exact user folder location depends on your OS version and cloud-documents integrations, here are some suggestions to find it reliably:

• MacOS: Finder, Go menu, click Documents > Rack2/plugins
• Windows: Right-click Explorer on taskbar, click Documents > Rack2/plugins
• Linux: ~/.Rack2/plugins

Additional info is available in the Rack documentation on installing non-library plugins.

NOTE: For maximum safety, you may also want to export Teletype scenes from your favorite patches before upgrading.

Changelog from v2.0.0-alpha5 to v2.0.1-beta:

• Add the ansible module
  • Contains the beloved sequencer kria (with a hardware or virtual grid connected)
  • Also includes versions of earthsea and meadowphysics, with slightly different capabilities from the standalone modules (with a hardware or virtual grid connected)
  • ...plus CV generators levels and cycles (with a hardware arc controller connected)
  • ansible is a deep module and relies on press-and-hold gestures both with grids and its own panel buttons. Ctrl-click on grid buttons or KEY1/KEY2 to "hold" them.
  • virtual grids may need more love in order to effectively use kria; feedback welcome!
  • Not currently supported: the MIDI and "teletype expander" modes from the hardware
• Support for hardware monome arc controllers (arc2 and arc4, theoretically, but only arc4 has been tested)
  • Currently only the ansible module utilizes the arc
• Complete panel graphics for teletype and ansible, revise trilogy graphics
• Module manuals added to Info submenu / plugin.json
• Display the serialosc version in the right-click menu, and offer a link to the install docs if serialosc is not detected
• Fixes
  • Add Schmitt triggers to the teletype trigger inputs and meadowphysics/white whale clock inputs (2.2V on, 0.8V off, matching the hardware)
  • Correct behavior for meadowphysics external clock input
  • Display the correct clock period on meadowphysics and white whale clock knob tooltips
  • Display the correct internal values on the teletype PARAM knob tooltip, and accept text input of 14-bit PARAM values when right-clicking the knob
  • Fix the "Release Held Keys" command on virtual grids, which was broken in alpha5
  • Fix SPDX license string in plugin.json (thanks @falkTX)
• Build using the official Rack toolchain (thanks @cschol)
• Add Mac ARM64 as a prototype target for M1/M2 computers, for testing use only with the VCV Rack Mac ARM beta build.
